-
- <para>These ioctls are used to negotiate the frame format at specific
- subdev pads in the image pipeline.</para>
-
- <para>To retrieve the current format applications set the
- <structfield>pad</structfield> field of a &v4l2-subdev-format; to the
- desired pad number as reported by the media API and the
- <structfield>which</structfield> field to
- <constant>V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE</constant>. When they call the
- <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FMT</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
- structure the driver fills the members of the <structfield>format</structfield>
- field.</para>
-
- <para>To change the current format applications set both the
- <structfield>pad</structfield> and <structfield>which</structfield> fields
- and all members of the <structfield>format</structfield> field. When they
- call the <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
- structure the driver verifies the requested format, adjusts it based on the
- hardware capabilities and configures the device. Upon return the
- &v4l2-subdev-format; contains the current format as would be returned by a
- <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FMT</constant> call.</para>
-
- <para>Applications can query the device capabilities by setting the
- <structfield>which</structfield> to
- <constant>V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY</constant>. When set, 'try' formats are not
- applied to the device by the driver, but are changed exactly as active
- formats and stored in the sub-device file handle. Two applications querying
- the same sub-device would thus not interact with each other.</para>
-
- <para>For instance, to try a format at the output pad of a sub-device,
- applications would first set the try format at the sub-device input with the
- <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT</constant> ioctl. They would then either
- retrieve the default format at the output pad with the
- <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FMT</constant> ioctl, or set the desired output
- pad format with the <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT</constant> ioctl and check
- the returned value.</para>
-
- <para>Try formats do not depend on active formats, but can depend on the
- current links configuration or sub-device controls value. For instance, a
- low-pass noise filter might crop pixels at the frame boundaries, modifying
- its output frame size.</para>
-
- <para>Drivers must not return an error solely because the requested format
- doesn't match the device capabilities. They must instead modify the format
- to match what the hardware can provide. The modified format should be as
- close as possible to the original request.</para>
